I've never been particularly fond of Battisti, but this album is absolutely fantastic. It's his absolute peak (it competes with "Don Giovanni"), simply wonderful. The highlights are "Abbracciala, abbracciali, abbracciati," the title track, and "Macchina del tempo." A great album, one that deserves to be among the top 15-20 albums of Italian music. more
Interesting creations, but I don't care where I saw it first. It seems to be very effective. more
The usefulness? Nothing, that's it. more
So, it's a subject that's been thoroughly covered in other works by Frankie (Accendimi is a glaring example), however, it's written very well. more
Musically great, but it could have been a bit longer. more
The unexpected song. With a jazzy rhythm, featuring very original lyrics that, overall, is one of the best tracks on the album by the excellent songwriter Frankie. more
Topic better addressed elsewhere more
Fairly useless, but as an arrangement, it works well. more
Original but not too much, it could have developed better. more
It works quite well, the atmospheres are those of The Death of Miracles. Stuff by Frankie. more
Nice piece, it only lacks a rather mediocre chorus. more
Not an album like the early ones, but I enjoy listening to it quite often. New sounds. more
His will. more

Unfortunately, we are at the beginning of the decline here. Some shadow of the giant Dalla still exists, and overall it's not a terrible album, but the inspiration is greatly reduced. Furthermore, the most famous single (of course "Se io fossi un angelo") turns out to be the least successful. 5.5/6 more
The first four albums were pathetic. Then from 1974 (the year of "E tu..") he starts producing interesting stuff, but his golden period will begin with "Strada facendo" (81) and will last until "Io sono qui" (95). A great quartet that will find the peak of its discography in "Oltre" (90). After 1995, essentially useless. more
